Re: Questions about 'Monospaced' font Win/Mac/Linux

Asking others is many times the first step to being able to answer part 
of it yourself.

I'm not a Java programmer, but to customize jEdit I need to become a 
Beanshell programmer, which means I need to become a 
somewhat-Java-programmer.

Anyway, I searched in 'jedit5.4.0source.tar.bz2' and discovered that 
'Monospaced' is part of 'java.awt.Font '

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java/awt/Font.html

Having searched more, I have now found the type of authoritative answer 
I'm looking for, from this link:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/intl/font.html

It says:

"The JDK and JRE bundle several physical fonts of the "Lucida" design 
family. These fonts are also licensed for use in other implementations 
of the Java Platform. These fonts are physical fonts, but since they 
come with the Java SE Runtime, they don't depend on the host operating 
system. Using them provides the benefit of a consistent look and feel 
across platforms and implementations for a large set of languages."

I'll do some more searches to see what I can find for Java 9, but if I 
don't find a similar statement for Java 9, it'll worry me.

Thanks,
GB
